To me you're a Cabin Class host! Fine voice, clarity and style of speech; "dressed for success" projects old-fashioned elegance; and you avoid using glitzy/unneeded visuals or music. Superb work!
I love this so much. My 3rd great grandfather survived the wreck of the Atlantic. I've been researching his story for years and this video is so satisfactory. I can't believe he survived and thus my existence was made possible. Your graphics and videos are amazing
I want to say that this is one of the best and most well-produced videos I have ever seen on TH-cam regarding Liner History. Never boring, excellent graphics and cutaways, and factually correct. Plus the delivery from the on-camera host is professional and very kind in tone. I will subscribe and watch the whole back catalog! Thanks to you for this enjoyable video, and keep it up!
I would love to see this channel get much larger. The time spent gathering this type of information is something most people can’t even imagine. I would expect that this young man has spent most of his life acquiring information of this aspect to be so well versed on this type of content. This is undoubtedly the best rendition I’ve ever witnessed on the ships of this period. Very well put together sir. Keep up this magnificent work. Do you happen to have a way for appreciative folks like myself to donate? I’m sure the time spent gathering such Information would be much easier and less daunting with some financial backing. I’ve often wondered what these times would’ve been like for a person that were to sail out on a ship of this time period. This is Simply astounding.
Hi Thomas, Really enjoy these videos of yours, and appreciate the amount of time and effort you put in to them. All the best to you and yours in these times. My mum's dad, uncle and grandad all worked on RMS Olympic, so it's interesting to see and hear history of the Atlantic liners.
@@didyouhearmebob Yep, I was surprised. A cousin of mine did my mum's family tree and found the records for them. The family's roots are in Southampton. I visited years ago and remember the monument to all the crew from Southampton that were lost in the Titanic, very moving, must have had a huge impact on family's.
I would give anything to travel on such magnificent liners. I miss the era where traveling accross the ocean was a more formal affair. Beautiful ships, full of character, they had a true soul. Ships now rarely have the same luxury...
"Ships now rarely have the same luxury..." They have the luxury people at the time could never imagine. For far more people. And pretty much available for all passengers as opposed to the few 1st class who could afford it back then. Also for the steerage passengers traveling across the ocean was pretty far from glamorous or an adventure. Yes, I'm afraid *those* were the overwhelming majority. It was a one-way trip with the hope of finding a job or ending up in the gutter. Tell me, have you even been on a cruise ferry let alone an ocean liner? I also bet a million people in 50 years or 100 years from now will say the same about the 2020's. "Such a romantic and uncomplicated era full of character and soul." "I miss the era where traveling accross the ocean was a more formal affair. " Well, in order for you to miss it you'd have to experience it personally which we both know you haven't. Unless you travelled on the last classic ocean liner the SS France back in the 1960's (making you at least 70 if you were old enough to remember it) what the heck are you missing? A romantic notion far removed from reality and utterly myopic to boot. While these ships were technical wonders of the Victorian Era they rapidly got outdated with ever improving technology. And this still hold true today. Modern day people wouldn't be caught dead crossing the Atlantic in those ancient ships. And if you really like classic ships there's plenty of classic ferries operating around the world. Some of them built in the early 1900's. Again. How many real ships have you actually traveled on?
@Tracydot3, I'm working on a novel starting with the arrival of a family of immigrants in New York City in 1889! I'm looking for a real ship that the family could have arrived on in spring of that year. Ideas? Would you be interested in emailing?🚢 :D
Rarely do I come across a narrator as exquisite as this. An exceptional stud with an equally exceptional lady. Keep doing what you're doing sir. Covid is gone now. Fire it back up!
Late to the party as usual, but just wanted to say what a wonderful channel this is! I absolutely love history and especially nautical history. I love this series of ships, they where some of the first steam driven ocean going vessels, but maintained spars and rigging for sails just in case. There is something deeply nostalgic about these hybrid ships halfway between two eras, that of sail and that of steam.... Truly amazing and awe inspiring. Thank you so much for this wonderful content! Oh and I have subscribed!
I appreciate this! Between 1883 and 1909, my great grandparents and 4 children, my grandpa, and my two grandmas all left Norway for the States. I've been trying to find out more about the process. I have information about when they came but nothing about which class they traveled. I think the family probably traveled steerage, and one grandma would have also. My grandpa was First Mate on a ship so I'm thinking that he and his future wife, traveled cabin class. It was the difference between farmers and fishermen vs ships officers. I think all of them came through Boston, though, and apparently, there were trains on the docs that whisked them away to processing and wherever they were going.
A transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 can be a similar experience today. When visiting England we usualy take the train from where were staying to Southampton then stay at the Star Hotel the night before embarkation.
Very interesting. We went from New York to Liverpool in 1966 on the Sylvania a Cunard liner. I think it took 6 days. Flew back. It was a nice ship but by that time going by ship had been superseded by flying by jet.
My great grand parents traveled from Italy to Brazil and my nonna was born in 1900. A few years later they traveled back to Italy then to the US and Ellis Island ! All by boat ! God Bless them and all immigrants !
My grandparents and all my great aunts and great uncles sailed back and forth between England and Canada mostly on the Queen Mary. I want to tour the Queen Mary that’s moored in Long Beach, California. It’d be nice to walk the decks and hallways where my family walked for decades.
Man if I were a billionaire, it'd be hard for me to resist the urge to build modern replicas of old ships like the Atlantic, Lusitania, and Titanic to operate as museums.
@@SR_superior_1000 I don't think there's much market for 100 year old ocean liners half the size of modern liners, especially when air travel is a cheaper and safer alternative to what they were built for. But as a museum that can also host fancy events or even partially act as a hotel? Heck yeah.
Your programs are so interesting and informative with no unwarranted drama. ‘Just the facts, Ma’am.’ Excellent description of the amenities onboard the Atlantic. Well researched and presented. Truthfully and as accurate as possible given how long ago those ships were in service. The midday meal was amazingly diverse, at least for the well-heeled, and accommodations sound pretty nice even for steerage in those days…perhaps nicer than some of the steerage passengers had wherever the haled from.
If I could time travel. Going back in time to go on a voyage on one of these incredible ocean liners would be on my list! Just an unbelievable era. Such a formal affair. So elegant. What an experience it would of been!
Well, you could still travel on the Queen Mary 2, which is an ocean liner still doing the Southampton to New-York route. It is quite luxurious and retains some of the old traditions of these ships, for example, you are expected to dress formally to some of the meals. Much more enjoyable than the regular soulless cruise ships.
Wonderfully informative video. I often find myself unable to properly visualize what oceanic travel would have looked like in the mid/late-19th century - that overlooked period sandwiched between the iconic ages of the old-time sailing ships and the large, multi-funneled ocean liners like Titanic. This helped me get a better understanding of it. It's really a shame there are so few available images of the interiors of these ships, but the pictures you showed did give a good impression of what it would have been like.
Very well done indeed. I have always been drawn to the real liners, as opposed to the cruise ships of today. The one cruise I have taken was on one of the old liners, but I forget her name. That was over 30 years ago now. Would that I could take another trip like that.
Interesting and fun. Loved the teeny-tiny Oceanic Class models. I recently wondered whether early liners with auxiliary sails could use them when under steam power to boost speed or efficiency, so thanks!
Sometimes captains that were particularly familiar with a certain harbour were allowed to set the ship into the port themselves without a pilot, for example M/S Piłsudski's captain Mamert Stankiewicz, who could even dock the ship in Gdynia without tugboats
"Dinner" in the afternoon wasn't just a Victorian thing. I was brought up (England in the 60's) with the notion of Breakfast, Dinner and Tea being the 3 meals of the day. "Dinner Ladies" would serve food mid day at school right into the '70. Maybe they still do, it's just that I left school in the 70's so I don't know. I was so used to the idea of dinner being early afternoon, that I didn't notice any change in common use of the term. In 1999, when I moved to New Zealand, Dinner became the evening meal and "Lunch" was mid day. To this day I have "Dinner" at 1pm, much to the amusement of my colleagues at work. Here in New Zealand, I was introduced to the idea of Morning Tea and Afternoon Tea, so, my net gain, I guess!
As a vegan. I'm glad to know that in these times. Vegans can request vegan meals once notifying the main chef in advance. Vegetarian menus are always available. I plan on going on a cruise next year, and your channel is helping me realize that cruise lines sure love meat eaters. I ate meat when I went on a cruise in the late 1990s. Off the menu you just read. I'd be living on berries and nuts. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽
thank you for this awesome video! I love your channel and your passion. I'm a ship not as well and recently found your channel and have been devouring video after video.
It's sad to me that alot of people think that the white star line was a failure based on the the movie Tiatanic that they and Harland & Wolf and Bruce Ismay were somehow idiots to shipping I mean look at their history yes ththey had tragedies but so did Cunard P&O Red Star Collins all had troubles
Just came across your Page a short while ago; finished two videos and subscribed. Willing to pitch in. Terrific work and knowledge. Love the Lusitania project! Drop a line...
I grew up in the 1960’s. Many people then still ate breakfast, dinner and supper. A few years ago I spent some time living in Louisiana and many people there still eat their main meal at noon.
A health check was essential then as it will now be. As a result of CV infections originateing on a Cruise Ship that was allowed to land its passengers in Sydney with out proper testing, ships captains will probably loose their powers to say their ships are disease free and bio security will be significantly upgraded to Airport standards. In the 1840-50's a German Bounty Immigrant ship departed its German home port and by the time they reached the Australian Colony settlement of Brisbane some 75 passengers had died of smallpox, cholera and other diseases. - many of them were children. The Captain insured his passengers lives so he made a profit whether they arrived dead or alive. The deaths started before the ship cleared the English Chanel. As a result the British Government instituted new rules requiring medical checks of passengers - particularly of Bounty Immigrant Ships.
Considering all the medical checks and stuff, I'm curious as to why there's so much confusion about the numbers of passengers, survivors and casualties from the Atlantic, considering that there's exact numbers available for Titanic, which isn't that much older.
Was the White Star line bought by Cunard later? Also Thomas, I asked you before about the Andrea Gale but the most fascinating sea story of all to me is that of the muntiny on the Bounty. I saw The Bounty copy in CA but I wonder if after its sinking in hurricane Sandy, was it ever been raised or have attempts been made? I doubt that today's fancy cruise ships have marble fireplaces or as many high-class amenities as the cruise ships back then. Great menu indeed & ten courses, wow. Thx so much Thomas.
Hi from the UK. Thanks so much for this. Good to see people travelled back in 1870. Do you know if there was a ship from the UK to Italy? Could the less wealthy travel on cargo ships in 1870. I cannot seem to find any information on the UK trading with Italy back then. Did wealthy Brits eat tomatoes back then from Italy I wonder? What about the Americans, when did they start eating tomatoes?
